Dealt to Empoli Sambia is headed to Empoli on loan from Sampdoria, the club announced.

Scores in 3-3 stalemate Sambia scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus AC Milan.

Assists versus Juventus Sambia assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Juventus. In addition, he was given a yellow card...

Impact Sambia recorded his first goal contribution of the season as his corner in the 27th minute connected with Niccolo Pierozzi's head to take the 1-0 lead. It came on one of his two chances created and he also took his first three corners of the season. On the defensive end he added one tackle, one interception and two clearances before being subbed off in the 91st minute for Marco Pellegrino.

Struggles versus Inter Sambia had one tackle (zero won), six successful duels and six clearances in Friday's 4-0 loss against Inter Milan.

Impact Sambia took advantage of Filip Bradaric's (suspension) and Niccolo Pierozzi's (ankle) absences to return to the starting lineup, but even though he put up a decent amount of starts, he struggled to contain Carlos Augusto, who had two assists. He's usually a backup when they are whole. He has notched nine clearances, four crosses (two accurate) and three tackles (one won) in the last four rounds (two starts).

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Pretty good against Napoli Sambia had three crosses (zero accurate), two interceptions, eight duels, and one chance created in Saturday's 1-2 loss against Napoli.

Impact Sambia has logged back-to-back sound performances since the departure of Pasquale Mazzocchi, but Salernitana might soon sign another option in his role. He has posted four chances created, eight crosses (one accurate), and four interceptions in his last three appearances.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off the bench well versus Genoa Sambia registered two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and one chance created in Friday's 0-1 defeat to Genoa.

Impact Sambia subbed in at half-time for Filip Bradaric and added some offense and energy. He'll try to challenge the two starters on the flanks under the new coach. He has played just twice for a total of 56 minutes so far.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swings in two crosses against Cremonese Sambia sent in two crosses (both accurate) and had one off-target shot and one tackle (zero won) in 14 minutes in Round 38's 0-2 loss to Cremonese.

Impact Sambia was lively considering his short time on the pitch. He rarely got consistent minutes after transferring from Montpellier last summer. He appeared 22 times (seven starts), recording one assist, 13 shots (five on target), 33 crosses (eight accurate), and 12 tackles.

JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

First assist of season Sambia had an assist while crossing once accurately and creating two chances during Saturday's 3-2 win over Udinese.

Impact Sambia entered the match in the 64th minute and set up William Troost-Ekong in the 96th for the game winning goal. The assist was the first goal involvement in 21 appearances for Sambia.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in win Sambia took two shots (both on target), had three crosses (one accurate) and picked up a yellow card in Friday's 2-1 win at Leece.

Impact Sambia made his second start of the season Friday and finished with an all around solid stat line. He recorded two shots on target, took two corners and had three crosses (one accurate). He also played well defensively, winning his one tackle attempted, making three clearances and one interception. If he continues to see a spot in the starting XI, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him keep up this production.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Energetic versus Milan Sambia drew two fouls and had two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against AC Milan.

Impact Sambia filled in for Antonio Candreva (suspension) and Pasquale Mazzocchi (knee) on the right flank and was decent on offense, although very imprecise, and pretty boor in the back. He has barely played so far, but he could get some spots minutes until Mazzocchi recovers.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Salernitana Sambia has agreed to a four-year contract with Salernitana, the team announced.

Impact Sambia decided not to stay at Montpellier after falling out of favor and could see major minutes if starting right wing-back Pasquale Mazzocchi leaves the club as rumored. He posted one goal, 11 chances, 50 crosses (nine accurate) and 22 tackles in 30 appearances (16 starts) in the most recent season. He has logged six assists in his best campaign in that regard so far.
